KUALA LUMPUR (THE STAR/ASIA NEWS NETWORK) - A robber's brutal assault of a woman inside an MRT station's lift in the Kuala Lumpur district of Cheras has made headlines after it was caught on surveillance camera.
The video of the Thursday (Feb 14) incident, in which the man repeatedly punches and kicks the woman, has since gone viral. A single posting on the MyCrimeWatch community on Facebook has logged some 50,000 views as of 6pm Saturday (Feb 16).
The 56-second footage begins with the woman entering the lift, followed closely by the man. The moment the lift doors close, the man lands a powerful right hook on the side of the woman's head, which floors her instantly.
